It feels like Christmas. College football is truly the best time of the year. General thoughts for discussion, in no particular order: - Felt good to pummel a team that should be pummeled. Relative to Idaho last year, I like where the OL is at to start the year. - Dante Moore looked great! I realize the competition level of M St., but at least he looked as good as he should have. - I believe Dante Moore has the best arm talent I’ve seen at Oregon. Not to be confused with he’s the best QB Oregon has ever had; only time and more games will determine that. But he can make every throw, it looks effortless, and he has a rocket arm that also makes a pillow-soft, catchable ball. Excited to see him develop. - Amari Washington jumped out on nearly every defensive play. What a joy to see. - I loved the “look” (height / size) of our cornerbacks. Should be able to go toe-to-toe with the athletic receivers they’ll face. - Any concern about the Ducks’ secondary given M St. only had one receiving weapon that they couldn't stop? Granted it didn’t result in a lot of scoring, but I expected an adjustment. - What an awesome, refreshing performance by the Ducks. Clean and efficient play all game on both sides of the ball, regardless of the competition level. - How wonderful to see Bama go down. I’m still flummoxed as to why DeBoer is struggling there. - Watching College Game Day was a real treat. I didn’t grow up with cable, so I rarely watched CGD, but the tributes to Lee Corso, and the old footage, was very nostalgic and enjoyable to watch. - Darn you Texas. I hate tosu with all my heart, and you let me down. - GO DUCKS!!!! Would love your response to some of the comments, or your observations about the game / day of football.

Let's see where we are when we play a team with a pass rush. But it was fun to watch the performance put on.

Gratz CRL! Everybody was a winner with that performance... well, save for Montana State. 😆 Go Ducks! 🦆

I don’t know if this will be a weekly thing, but some of these are just too good. Pleas add more as you see fit.

I agree that Novo should’ve gotten more than a series. He is a redshirt Sophomore and will likely transfer if Dante comes back next year.

It looks like ESPN will have no other option than to vigorously hype FSU as favorites for the national championship.

Washington was a trendy pick to beat Ohio State. Who's betting that line now?

Is this possibly a rewarding for the hard work of the young players while resting the veterans in a long season scenario? Also the young players don't come out flat as they have something to prove even against a lesser opponent. No one wanted to see a repeat of Idaho last year and these guys came ready to play. A clear sign of who the real starters will be is in week 5. Till then it's still an audition with opportunity for resting players and developing players over the long season.

I think even Montana State can handle that Husky offensive line!

Right now I think Oregon destroys that Husky offensive line.

CSU ties it right before half time!

Go Rams!!

The SEC is now 1-6 in their last 7 games against the BIG?

I’m starting to get Bryan Harsin/Auburn vibes.

Puppies up a whopping 14-7 near the end of the 1st half and now they just fumbled away the ball off a bad snap. Cue Benny Hill theme music!

I keep hearing about arm talent, but I didn't see anything super special. His spiral wasn't that tight and he overthrew quite a few open receivers. I'm judging him against the accuracy of Bo Nix' final year and Justin Herbert's last few years, so it's a pretty high bar, but when people start saying best ever, I'll say not yet. The bigger thing to me was he had command of the offense and his progressions. HOWEVER, that 3rd down play near the goal line after the blocked put was not good decision making. He got flushed out of the pocket, and ran out of bounds 5 yards short of the goal line accomplishing nothing. The announcers praised him for it, but he had the time to hold being the LOS and wait for someone to win the scramble drill. So I'm holding final judgement for seeing him operate with some consistent pressure. I do expect Dante to continue to improve like the rest of the team.

…they’re struggling against Colorado State. It’s hilarious!

They were that bad. Saw the whole game, eating massive crow!!!

No worries. He'll be a great portal target in the future....

Dante has the best arm talent I’ve ever seen at Oregon. Time will tell if he reaches the “best Oregon QB”, but arm talent, yes.
